e fairy was a bit puzzled and then took out her phone to check. "You really did, Honey! Why did you call me""Did you make some kind of virus called ‘Little Fairy Is Bored’" Summer asked."Yeah, I was r...Chapter 442: Dinner Party

Summer finally found Isabel's phone number, but when he called, he discovered that the number was no longer in use. Clearly, Isabel had changed her number again. As for Avril, Summer didn't even know where she was. This meant that he couldn't get in touch with the Shadow Group temporarily and therefore wouldn't know whether or not they had stopped pursuing Qiao Xiaoqiao.

However, Summer wasn't concerned about this now; first, he needed to appease the furious Willow Dream.

"Sis Dream!"

"I'm singing. I don't want to talk to you."

"Sis Dream, then let me listen to your singing.

"You're the bad guy, I won't sing for you!"

"Sis Mo, can I go out and play with you"

"No, I'd rather play with Xiaotiger. Xiaotiger is the best; it always plays with me when I ask. Unlike some little rascal who never keeps his promises!"

...

This time, Liu Meng stayed angry for quite a long time—about ten minutes. Then, under the condition that Xia Tian promised to accompany her from today until tomorrow, she happily pulled Xia Tian downstairs and both of them went off to torment poor little Xiaotiger.

Poor little Xiaotiger was tormented by these two guys for an entire afternoon. It wasn't until around 6:30 PM that someone finally came to save it. If little Xiaotiger could speak, it would definitely kneel down and thank its savior—the goddess Qiao Xiaoqiao.

"Husband, Dream姐." Hearing Qiao Xiaoqiao's voice, Xia Tian and Liu Meng temporarily stopped their torment of Little Tiger and ran to the fence.

"Xiaoqiao, why did you come Do you want to play with Little Tiger too" Seeing Qiao Xiaoqiao, Liu Meng looked a bit puzzled.

"Dream姐, I'm going to attend a charity gala later. Would you like to go with me" Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled gently; she naturally didn't want to play with the tiger; she lacked both the ability and interest.

Liu Meng blinked her eyes: "Are you taking the little rascal along"

Although Liu Meng had a childlike nature, this did not mean that she was foolish. She immediately understood that Qiao Xiaoqiao wanted Xia Tian to accompany her as well.

"Yes, Dream姐. Big Brother said there will be many people at the charity gala and no special security measures, so he's worried." Qiao Xiaoqiao nodded; it wasn't just about security, mainly because Qiao Donghai had recently used some methods against Fang Ying's mother, and he was concerned that she might resort to extreme measures. Before receiving any news from the Shadow Group, Qiao Donghai still hoped that Xia Tian could accompany Qiao Xiaoqiao.

"Oh, the little rascal promised to stay with me all night until tomorrow! If he's going, then I'm going too!" Liu Meng嬌 said loudly.

Before leaving, Liu Meng said goodbye to Little Tiger: "Little Tiger, we'll play together next time. We're off now!"

Poor Little Tiger looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao with tearful eyes, watching its goddess leave and praying in its heart that the goddess would appear more often so it wouldn't have to suffer under the torment of the witch.

The location for the charity gala was no stranger to Xia Tian; it was the Hyatt Regency Hotel where he had beautiful memories.

The second floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel housed a dedicated ballroom, and tonight's charity gala would be held there. Both the venue and all sorts of dishes, wines, and beverages for the dinner were sponsored free of charge by the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The reason behind this was simply that the organizer of tonight's charity gala was Shao Zhixiong.

Shao Zhixiong was a very famous philanthropist in the country, and with over fifty years old, his life experiences were rather legendary as well.

Thirty years ago, Shao Zhixiong was just an ordinary village teacher. The place where he taught was very poor, with many children unable to afford schooling. So, he used his meager salary to help them attend school, but soon realized that the small amount of money he had was far from enough to solve the problem.

After some consideration, he quit teaching and came to Jianghai City to start his own business. He had quite a good sense of commerce; during an era when China began opening up, he quickly made a substantial amount of money and finally managed to ensure that every child in that village could attend school.

Over the following twenty years, while expanding his business, he also broadened the scope of his assistance for poor children in mountainous areas. But gradually, he realized that even if he earned more money, it was still far from enough compared to the countless impoverished children across the country. Thus, ten years ago, he handed over his business and established the Shao Zhixiong Charity Foundation, focusing solely on charity work.

Over these years, the Shao Zhixiong Charity Foundation has developed rapidly. Shao Zhixiong's focus has shifted from simply helping out-of-school children to supporting education as a whole, and then extending into other areas. However, education remains the most important aspect of his charitable efforts.

Every year, Shao Zhixiong holds a charity gala in Jianghai City on Teachers' Day, which falls on September 10th.

Different from many charity galas that feature auctions, this one will not have an auction. It will simply be a dinner event, but of course, fundraising is the most important part and cannot be omitted.

The guests invited to the dinner party were mostly celebrities and wealthy individuals. As Qiao Xiaoqiao was the most famous prodigy in Jianghai City, it wasn't surprising that she received an invitation. In fact, this wasn't her first time attending Shao Zhixiong's charity gala; each time, she donated a substantial amount of money, at least over one million yuan.

Of course, the Qiao family didn't receive invitations solely for Xiaoqiao. Qiao Donghai also received an invitation but chose not to accompany her. Instead, they attended separately.

Although the formal charity dinner began at eight o'clock, it was now only seven and the Grand Hyatt Hotel's second-floor banquet hall was already filled with many people. Shao Zhixiong had good relationships with the Jianghai business circle, so most people would give him face upon receiving an invitation. Although they knew that money would be involved tonight, they were generally willing to attend.

As the host of the event, Shao Zhixiong naturally arrived early. Despite his ordinary appearance and amiable demeanor, he was always smiling at everyone, making it easy for people to feel a good rapport with him. Now, together with his wife Liu Xiaoyun, they were greeting each person who came to attend the dinner party and engaging in brief conversations.

At this moment, another man and woman appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall. Shao Zhixiong hurriedly walked over with his arm around his wife. The man had an ordinary appearance, but the girl looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, very pretty and cute, dressed like a little princess, attracting much attention.

"Beibei, you're here," Shao Zhixiong greeted the girl warmly before turning to the man with a moment of hesitation, "You are..."an Duoduo said softly."This is not about whether you want to pursue it or not; I need to get to the bottom of this!" Qian Wanj precious metal looked furious and then shouted out, "Someone here!"Two la...
